Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

oi you
Nope, just can't see a way to do it, and I'm stopping now coz it's bedtime and I don't need to be thinking.
I'd like to be able to do it myself (onto a 310XT). It's a doddle to get TCX or GPX onto my Edge510 as a route.

Thanks for trying, never mind. Tbc following a watch instead of relying on map seems rather like cheating, but thought it would be nice for recce (if I get the chance) when there's nobody else around

I don't think Connect lets you import files which are courses, only activities. redcard Their course creator doesn't even support courses as well as the watches do (it won't give you turn warnings, even though the watches support it).

Charging my 310 for tinkering purposes :)

o_O

Only way I can work out to do it is by converting it to a FIT file and dropping that in C:\ProgramData\Garmin\CoreService\LegacyProxy\(your unit ID goes here)\NewFiles with the 310xt on and Garmin Express running. It won't transfer a GPX or TCX file by that route.

I've converted that file to a FIT file for you and can email it to you if you fmail me an email address. I have a program for converting TCX courses to FIT which anybody is welcome to if they want it.

Thanks Stu!! star medal

- I hadn't seen Milemonster's star WIKI - that's brilliant and I shall put a link to it -----> so I and anyone else can find it in the future :)

Badger - I couldn't find/get to the ProgramData\Garmin file - but then on this flippin' Windows 10 lappy I can't find anything, so I will keep trying, there must be a file hidden away somewhere - it would be useful to have an alternative option.

Now all I need to do is find the time to go play on what look like the trickiest bits of the route - that also is easier said than done :(

I had problems with this and in the end had to dust down garmin training center and a pc with vista on. To get a route across to an old 310xt I have.
